I caught a house gecko last night with a transparent packaging plastic box, and I have my brand spanking new EOS 650D, so I thought, what better way to trial my new body and test the live view magnifying feature to get a sharp macro focus. :D (Before this, I was using a very old EOS 350D which died a few months ago. :crying:)

The plastic was a bit scratched, so you'll see lines in the shot. :shrug:

(No animal was harmed in this session, the gecko was released outside the house after the shoot.)

Here's the gecko: :puke:

Trying to get a shot of the gecko's stick pads:

Was hoping to see more details of the sticky pad, but I think I need an electron microscope for any details. :LOL:

I was using the Canon EF-S 60mm f/2.8 macro lens - taken in Av mode, f/8, ISO 100 on a Gorillapod.
 
Thanks, Dmax. :)
